lately...

To all of my faithful followers, I'm sorry I haven't been around lately!  I never want to post things, just to post them; I always like my posts to be relevant.  So, I guess it's sad that I haven't felt the urge to post things lately!  

Today marks my official three-month anniversary!  It couldn't have been a better day for an anniversary--a true spring New York day.  As I've said a few times, spring is finally here in the city, but it's actually been hanging around for the past couple of weeks!  To mark my anniversary, here are a few things I've been up to lately...

My family came to New York a couple of weeks ago for spring break and it was actually spring weather!  I was so excited to get to spend time with them and show them my city.  We took a great walk in the park, I showed them my tiny apartment (to non-New Yorkers), and we had a great dinner at Tony's DiNapoli.  I was a little nervous, I must admit, to take them to a family-style Italian Restaurant when there were so many other places in this enormous city.  Well, Tony's didn't let me down, and I don't think it let my family down, either!  My Uncle Mike fell in love!  It was a great time that ended with celebrating my cousin Catherine's 15th birthday a few hours early.
Thank you guys so much for visiting--I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Happy Early birthday, Catherine!

For Easter, I got a great long weekend and wanted to take advantage of it.  This was the first year I was away from my family so I thought I'd find another family to spend it with!  I ventured over to New Jersey to see my old college roommate and great friend, Kelsey.  She is lucky enough to live right on the beach in the north part of the Jersey Shore (the good part!).  We had a great weekend hanging out with her friends and getting to spend some quality time with her parents.  I thoroughly enjoyed being their adopted daughter for the weekend!  

 

The lovely Jersey Shore!

It's so nice to see the ocean!

I had to document these adorable little girls & their brother in their Easter outfits!

This was a really cool convention hall.  Check out May 5--Crosby & Nash!  Wish I was
going to be there!

This past week was Administrative Professionals week at work, and I just have to share pictures of the absolutely beautiful flower arrangement I got.  It makes spring seem very much alive!

So, that's my life lately--it may not be much, but I loved every minute of it.  To my faithful readers, thank you again for being a fan!  I'll try to keep you posted more often :)
